COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Valentin provides a development to the standard depiction of bohemians and crooks by portraying the victim of the intrigue, that is the soldier being duped, with his back to us, creating a greater spatial complexity, while the figures facing us are presented in a harmonious and fluid dynamic which underscores their complicity.
